Incentive for the Falkirk Match?
I will be interested to hear the club's reaction to how this exercise went. I hope they do consider repeating it. They will inevitably, though, get one or two letters of complaint about it which I think is pretty sad really.

CC to go in the summer
This rather sounds like the beginning of the end for CC. As each week goes by he just does not seem to be comfortable in the job, and it would not surprise me in the slightest if he was starting to think about walking sometime soon. It would be sad but I feel it would have to be a clean break. It would not be fair on any new manager to have his predecessor on the coaching staff or even running the centenary club.

Stupid really, because it was probably worked out days ago. :020:

Post Split Matches
If the formula of the last few years is repeated we'll start at home to Falkirk followed by a trip to Ibrox.

Post Split Matches
Now that we are 99.9% certain about who will be in the top and bottom 6 after the split why don't the SPL produce provisional post-split fixtures. Surely it would of benefit to every club and all their fans to know dates and venues.

Down, down, deeper and down
County 4 Accies 1 Have they turned the corner or are they giving the people of Cabbagetown false hope?

According to jailender.com this is now the new gudgie cof theme tune. Have to admit feeling a wee bit of sympathy for them as they are my diddy team.

CC Comments Misinterpreted
Should that not be "Amended" :015: So much for a university education! I thought he went to learn how to count squirrels! :015: which he could have done in the press box of TCS. :015:

SINGING SECTION
From the discussions that the Supporters Trust have had with the club I know that Alan Savage is very keen to get the singing section going and I believe he will be willing to write to those people it might affect. Under SPL rules I don't believe free seating is a possibility. Everybody entering the ground must have an allocated seat. I would place the singing section fairly close to the family section in the north stand. I have noticed that the kids need little encouragement to start singing and if there was a lot of noise coming from right beside them I'm sure they would love to add to that. Can I suggest you have a look at this similar idea from across the pond. http://kc.wizards.mlsnet.com/t105/load.jsp...ontent=cauldron

Former Football Grounds
Cathkin Park is still............a park. It's a bit weird really with the overgrown terracing around it. It's worth going out of your way to see the next time you're at Hampden. http://www.apwj49.dsl.pipex.com/cathkin.htm

Lack of appreciation
I have to agree with KoB. While CC has every right to do what he did, in no way can it be considered prudent. Imagine the manager of Tesco complaining in the paper that his customers are gurning too much about the quality of Tesco products and he feels they should stop this and instead tell the world how wonderful they are. It would not go down well. I am a fan of Caley Thistle but I'm also a customer. For an employee of any organisation to publicly criticise its customers in this way is not acceptable. In many organistaions it would be a disciplinary offence. Apart from the last few minutes, what we were treated to on Saturday was an apology for a game of football. I don't believe fans of any club would get excited about it. Despite this, I am happy that he is the right man for the job but I hope he considers carefully what he say to the media about the people whose money pays his wages.

So why can't we just call them "CALEY"
Shout Inverness, shout Caley, shout Thistle, it doesn't matter. Never forget, though, if there had been no Caley and no Thistle there would be no Caley Thistle. It was good to see some old Thistle codgers at the game today and more should have been made of that. Even this old Howden Ender would have applauded (grudgingly :015:) Tichy Black and Iain Stephen onto the pitch.

Pinocchio at the TCS
The big nosed old jaggie was at the TCS along with a number of other ancient red and black fossils today. Something to do with marking the fact that it's 500 years since Inverness Thistle won anything. :023:

St Johnstone
I think Owen Coyle deserves some credit. In his playing days I thought he would make an excellent manager and that would now appearing to be the case.

"Best Ever Scottish Cup Game"
Caley 5 Thistle 0 circa 76 :003: Thistle 3 Caley 4 circa 72 :003: I believe The Mantis is now custodian of a very rare programme from the 76 game

Ref v. Celtic
And who was ref on Feb 8th 2000? :006: A fact too often forgotten.

Yes, I thought rig-opodopolis did remarkably well.

Supporters Trust Boxing Night
300, and if there was room at the Drumossie we could have sold 50 or so more. It was a really good night with 9 bouts from schoolboy to Superheavyweight. All the bouts went the distance and a few of them were very close indeed. Final score was 4-4 with one bout not scored because of the weight difference between the two fighters.

Stillie
Yep, Stillie certainly deserves credit for his actions but in my view he had every right to get angry earlier as the ballboys made absolutely no movement to get the ball. :018:
